What? Are you insinuating that is too young or something? My mom had me at 21 (on purpose, even!) and never stripped me naked in front of the class when I misbehaved.

Because I believe in self-reliance, in avoiding co-dependency, and on the general improvement of men and men's rights. Sometimes this sub features that.

This is a pretty silly generalization. My girlfriend is on Reddit all the time and talks about her equivalent of whatever I talk about on here: her hobbies and interests. It's one thing to advocate being a self-sufficient man that doesn't agree with a lot of the expectations, policies, and ideologies present in modern society; it's another to behave in exactly the same gossipy, hen-pecking manner that you are complaining about.

I wonder how different those numbers would look if you included the military and prison population that were purposely excluded from the data.

I mean, it's true, but it's the normal human response to anxiety. We should be figuring out why students as a whole are feeling anxious about school work rather than just assuming that women are inherently more anxious and working around that.

The sad part is that probably all he wanted was for her to do that in the first place. If he didn't, she would be worse off, yet she resents him for it. I had an ex that resented me for giving her shit when she didn't work out-- she always complained about how she looked, about 15-20 lbs over where she should have been. Guess what the first thing she tried to do after we broke up was?

What's funny is I enjoyed most everything about it except her. Her terrible English accent amongst all the beautiful Irish ones brought me out of it. Some of the overtly feminist dialogue bits were grating as well. I was impressed with how intriguing the "bad guy" was for the first half of it.

Lots of introvert men are actually naturally submissive Introversion has nothing to do with it. Perhaps you mean "shy" or "weak," but they are not synonymous. Conversely, plenty of extraverted men are submissive. Introversion and extraversion are just descriptors of where you spend more of your time and energy: introspection and reflection vs. socialization. It's easy to imagine someone introverted with self-esteem issues because he thinks negatively of himself—the stereotype you are probably wo…

The true diversity line is completely fabricated idealistic bull shit with no data to support it. You're also conflating two unrelated points : learning in a setting that may or not mimic the real world vs learning in the most pedagogically conducive environment. Just because the real world has lots of different people you may or may not have to interact with doesn't mean you learn best in that environment. Single sex education isn't inherently better either, but "diversity", especially ethnic, …

It's bullshit and in fact completely opposed to what the data shows. Single sex classrooms have been shown to be as effective, and sometimes more effective, for both genders, especially boys, and even when kids have been randomly assigned. Since learning has ever been studied it has been shown that people learn best when surrounded by like-minded people with similar goals. That doesn't preclude learning well in a diverse situation, but it certainly doesn't mean it's automatically optimal as the …

Just got out of that thread. It is absolutely sickening. If I had a little brother and he was a fat, unattractive waste of space, I would set him straight and he would thank me later in life. These people are advocating letting this girl at herself up for an absolutely tragic downfall, and quickly. Very few people, never mind women, have the resilience to handle triple digit sex partners at less than 20 years old. All the guys fucking her are laughing at her and her brother.

Thanks for the response. The difference, as you know, is that the man has to work to become that person. Once he has improved himself and eventually falls in love (if that's his goal), it tends to mean more because he actually earned it. Women don't have experience in earning love, they get it by default. I think this is accurate. Women certainly don't earn admiration to the degree that most men have to. So once a man has become a man and falls in love in a healthy way, he will tend to be more o…

Chris Rock has a great bit, I think from Never Scared: "Show me a beautiful woman and I'll show you a man that's tired of fucking her." He's right. Half of the fun is in chasing the dragon, getting off on girls getting off on you. Eventually you get bored of it. You may still have sex with them, like them, love them, but you don't pursue with the same ardor you would a woman that really got to you. If I'm getting the sex I want from the girl I'm with, I do not get bored of her. I may want additi…

This isn't really gendered. Men get bored too. It's all about who has the power, i.e. feels like they are dating down. Once the new-relationship-drug-cocktail wears off, both partners are subject to waning attachment if their partner doesn't live up to their expectations. When a man and a woman fall in love, the man becomes fiercely loyal, devoted, and if he’s an insecure, unmanly man, he also becomes kind of needy and controlling and manipulative. But he’ll put up with anything for his woman, a…

Most of the ones that do already. Since everyone would pretty much have to go gay, competition for both status and aesthetics earned from lifting would sky rocket. Check out a gay hookup site and see how many guys want a muscular jock or a low body fat twink. This is without even considering the increased importance of physical strength in such a world.

Because "just be yourself" doesn't just mean "don't be fake." Being your real self has little value if you suck. It allows people to think they can just stay stagnant and eventually someone will be attracted to them. This is false and damaging advice. It should be "be the best version of yourself possible, constantly improving, and present yourself authentically and with pride." This is emphatically different from "stay exactly as you are now."

I learned this the hard way. I had the affection of a hot little thing because I was in a position of power. She was addicted to my cock and constantly needed my attention. About 6 months in I started having difficulty coping with some additional responsibility at work and really just needed a cheerleader to back me up until I got my head back. It only took her a month to say "I don't feel the same anymore" and run for greener pastures. She gave all the telltale sounds along the way: gradually e…

The majority of important works in the world's canon for as long as there has been writing have been written by men. Male writers are so predominant and preeminent in literature that female authors that aren't writing obviously female books go out of their way to name themselves androgynously--see J.K. Rowling, George Eliot, A.M. Barnard (Louisa May Alcott), the Bronte sisters. Most people would have a hard time naming as many female authors as they could male unless they go very far out of thei…

There are plenty of men that would pay for this. Some of them already pay prostitutes when they just need (and want) someone to talk to them and hold them. This expectation that men just want to fuck becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and makes it difficult for them to truly be intimate. It's just like what happens when you call young black kids criminals.

If you count prison rape then it absolutely happens to males more. I don't see the point in squabbling over it though. People can be abused by other people and we should regard it as equally reprehensible no matter the gender of the victim or perpetrator.

I'd save my money for something else I enjoy. Men are objectified in harlequin romance novels but I don't go demanding that they make the male leads shorter and paunchier. Ultimately it's about speaking with your wallet. If women spend their money on properties they like then those who produce films will seek to make them. They need to be shown that there is a real market for them.

This is silly. It completely disregards authorial choice. Many movies follow male leads and are told from their perspective, so there is little to no need for two women to be talking about anything that doesn't involve him. If they want more female leads in general, then tell women to write and finance more movies. They have the majority of the purchasing power and that's what talks in Hollywood.

But is that really all there is to it? I'm not so sure. I'm worried boys are treated worse not just because how how they are, but in fact for what they are - and that even if they were perfectly "girly" they would be treated and do worse. No it's not even close to all there is but it takes entire books to come close to cogently explicating every facet of this problem. The scenario you've described is very much a part of it.

The entire argument is that we treat boys like defective girls because they don't work the same way. Whether the reason they don't act like girls is inherent are socialized (it's probably both) doesn't change the fact that the main argument against the treatment boys receive in school is based on the conflict between the education system's expectation that boys will act the same way girls do and the reality that they don't.

That's the way most of science works, and unfortunately neuroscience is farther behind than many others, so some of these correlations are all we have to go by.

It's really more like "not enough non fiction" but since English class is expected to provide the majority of reading in most schools it ends up being a zero sum game. The type of fiction emphasized furthers the problem. I used to teach the things they carried and pretty much every boy was hooked.

As far as language acquisition, especially reading, is concerned, boys in average develop 1-2 years behind girls but catch up by about 8-9 years old. This is regardless of upbringing and education. It has been shown that boys typically have less developed language centers and more developed spatial reasoning centers, and this comes into play when they read. I'm on my phone so I can't pull up studies atm, but they are easy enough to find. What keeps boys behind, however, is exactly what many in t…

Boys are developmentally about 1.5 - 2 years behind girls in the earliest grades, especially with language acquisition, so girls often pick up reading and writing more quickly regardless of teacher. But you're absolutely right that the teacher and nature of education further exacerbates the problem.

The poster campaign has nothing to do with your right or ability to not be raped or to report a rape that happened. Right.

This may be part of the issue, but it certainly isn't the only, or even the biggest reason for the dwindling number of boy readers. This is a cultural problem affecting all kids to some degree, though, in my own anecdotal experience (working as a teacher and at a learning center) it does affect boys more than girls.

I never claimed that any of them were acceptable because none of them are. I do, however, have a problem with anyone anywhere posting a bunch of quotes without any actual thought surrounding them.

No where did I say that I expected others to show me the quote is out of context. I said that I expect those making claims to provide the quote in proper context.

Yes, she was probably using the character as a mouthpiece; no, that doesn't make it ok to inaccurately attribute the quote. When I'm not at work and have some time to work through …

So what you mean to say was, "Hey I am trying to track this quote down can you tell me where it comes from more specifically?" That's what citation is. When people write about topics, regardless of how thoroughly-studied, they cite their information so that others can read and see it in context. Even if someone has read someone's entire body of work, they shouldn't be expected to remember where every singular quote comes from. Some of us actually know the contexts of these statements. Apparently…

I'm not sure if that comment was directed at me, but I'm not a feminist. I've already stated that his situation deserves every bit of the attention that hers did. I don't see what there is to gain by saying his deserves more. That inherently means that hers deserved less than his overall, and I fail to see how that is egalitarian or productive. Both situations pose important questions about how to deal with rape, bullying, hazing, social media, ostracization, etc, and we should be very concerned…

You really are dense. I don't know who you're trying to group me with, but I am not a feminist and I do not support feminists in any way. I also do not support any of the statements quoted above. What I have a problem with is the lazy blanket quote-posting. Instead of trying to inspire any real, meaningful discussion on any of the particular views posed in the quotes, all this succeeds in doing is getting men to cheer about how much feminists suck. And while that may be true, it will prevent the…

I agree. I just don't want the movement to stoop to intellectual laziness, and there are lots of posts out there that do. The last thing we should be doing is fighting tropes with tropes.

I didn't start out saying that anyway (although I do think it). But I find it completely sickening that hers became international news with protests and all sorts, while his gets called sodomy hazing. And I'm totally with you there.

The quotes are not bunk. The burden of proof is on those making the claims. You can't just link a bunch of out-of-context quotes and expect to make much traction with them. I've read the pieces where some of these supposedly come from, and the soundbytes posted here are at best oversimplified, and at worst make the community look foolish. What's more you probably agree with them for the most part. And what exactly qualifies you to make a personal attack like that? I in no way support the views o…

Why not? I think that's wrong. An eleven year old boy is anally gang-raped and it's called "sodomy hazing"? No I'm sorry, that's just outrageous. You have every right to be outraged by that. I agree with you. But that is a separate point from: Frankly I think hers probably was less humiliating and traumatizing. I can tell you which experience I'd rather have, and it's not his by a mile. You will get absolutely nowhere trying to rank the level of trauma a kid suffers in a rape case and I'm not go…

Apparently neither one of you can read. I said quite clearly that "I don't disagree with your points," and no where in my post did I rationalize the behavior that CormacAndroid was condemning. My post was entirely about how no one will bother getting to that point in his post because he can't tell the difference between the singular "woman" and the plural "women." As in, the words he uses; As in, he needs to get better at using said words if he wants people to consider his, in this case, valid p…

I understand English just fine, which is why I'm calling you out on the fact that you can't seem to tell the difference between a "woman" and "women," as in every instance when you meant to talk about multiple "women" you instead talked about "woman." The funny part is I don't disagree with your points at all, but no one will take you or your points seriously if you can't even make yourself appear moderately literate. Now instead of diving straight into personal attacks, which do nothing to furt…

Hers was less violent (because she was passed out), but no less humiliating and traumatizing. We don't need to trivialize one tragedy to acknowledge another. Yes, this case needs much more coverage, but that doesn't mean we need to go around looking for rape cases that were subjectively less rape-y but received more coverage.

Most of these quotes are bunk and out of context. I do not support any of the authors there, and I think there's plenty in their writing to disagree with, but you won't get anywhere by trying to encapsulate what's wrong with their views into sound bytes, inaccurate ones at that. Proper criticism needs to be MUCH more thorough. Why don't you read just one of those author's pieces and come in ready to discuss what's wrong with her views based on that piece? At least that will be fruitful. But plea…

I agree with both points. My statement pretty much meant "should be kept out of the current penal system." There is little hope for the most violent of criminals, but the addicts can be reformed and the white collar ones can be put to work doing community service instead of staying in what amounts to a $30k/yr hostel.

I'm not trying to be rude, but your writing is clumsy to the point that it is barely coherent. I'll try to respond to what I gathered from your response. Men are definitely more capable than women and when they realize that they are the apex of evolution and do nothing with it, they'd get depressed. At best this is a gross oversimplification. At worst, it's misogynistic (and I hate this word and how it's often used) and counter-productive. Either way, men are depressed for all kinds of reasons, …

The issue isn't what is being taught so much as how it's being taught. STEM is inherently hands on. Nothing in this world is more interesting than solving real problems through human ingenuity, yet somehow school manages to completely miss that and turn it into the most mind-numbing 13 years of a kid's life. Kids are born naturally curious and wanting to learn and create and school beats those drives right out of them.

Your first point is in no way connected to what I posted about. Yes, males on average die younger than women do, and there is research suggesting that some of the reasons why are biological in nature (the effects of testosterone, for example). There are plenty of social reasons that can be argued to contribute, though: health care spending towards women vs. men (compare breast cancer spending to prostate cancer spending; men working far more dangerous jobs; military service; the effects of stres…

Women should be kept out of prison...as should men. Prison has been shown to be inefficient and ineffective in pretty much every significant way. The prison population would probably be something like 1/4 of what it is if we had meaningful rehabilitation and prevention.

I have no idea how much is from bullying, and I'm not particularly concerned how much is. Bullying is an issue that needs to be dealt with for all kids' sake, but I am more concerned about the fact that ANYONE feels the need to kill his or herself for any reason and that boys are 4x more effective in making sure it happens instead of seeking help.

ADD is very often misdiagnosed. It certainly exists, and there are those that need prescription treatment, but many studies have shown that other factors, such as diet, play a much more significant role in the ability to focus for many kids diagnosed as "ADD" or "ADHD." One of my best friends throughout high school was diagnosed as ADHD, and he too took Adderall throughout high school. He still got crap grades. Not because he was dumb, but because school was boring. My friend couldn't focus on d…

As an educator, I am concerned about how we deal with boys during their primary and secondary years and shape them into the men they will become. Issues like drugging students (5:1 boys to girls) that won't pay attention to un-engaging curriculum are high priority for me. And as a young man who floats in and out of depression, I am very concerned with the social institutions and assistance available to men. It is hard to be taken seriously and get any help as a man, especially one that isn't ver…

Gender Differences in Suicide CDC Suicide Statistics Men successfully commit suicide at about 3-4x the rate of girls, though girls inflict self-harm and attempt suicide more (this data is for the U.S., though it is similar around the world). Male suicides are far more violent, which is why they are successful. Males shoot and hang themselves; women attempt to poison themselves. It definitely affects both genders, especially since girls are trying to kill themselves far more (or at least call out…

48-year-old Ingrid Loyau-Kennett jumped off her bus when she saw the tragic soldier's body lying in the south-east London street, checked his pulse and then tried to talk to the men who hacked him to death. It's not hyperbole to say she was trying to protect other people. Yes, the soldier was already dead and I was mistaken in saying she was protecting him, but that in no way signifies that she wasn't in any immediate danger. She certainly wasn't "afraid" or "didn't care" as the poster I replied…

Which is to say, there has been research on this topic. Maybe you'd like to read it? The point isn't that he hasn't read the research, but that the author of the article doesn't even bother to defer to it.
